Just replaced the sleeve on mine.
Heard of the pressure sensors failing on the later instant haldex units 05>.
Never heard of anything that bad yet, maybe a one off and they do happen sadly.
Lets face it I've had to replace an engine in mine since I've had it due to the weak liner issue.

That's from the new T6 not the older proper R.
There are issues with the S/V R's. Mainly the liners and the AG collar (although not on the later 06-07 Geartronics as they have a different collar design/angle gear input which is made of a far stronger material and the input/collar is different too).

If that happened to me, taking into account the new engine, I'd be after a replacement vehicle as I'd consider myself to have bought a dud!! And if i was volvo, i'd be worried about problems like that ruining the brand name and just pay the guy's repair bill.

Precisely why I gave the advice I gave!
BTW the fun that can be had with this; http://www.ceoemail.com/ is incredible, let's put it this way, no less than the office of the Chairman of BT is now dealing with my new BT connection following an exchange of e-mails between myself and Ian Livingston last night!
